In February 2017 we launched a new page to help families identify potential twins. This listing is based on common features such as same finding date, same location, same birth date, same physical descriptions, and compatible orphanage assigned names. The data is derived from our orphanage data books by a group of families from each of the orphanages, as well as other records. You can peruse the list under the "Birth Parent Info" tab above.
